Brazil PGR Opposes Probe of STF Justice Mendonça for Abuse of Authority

Brazil's Prosecutor-General's Office (PGR) has formally opposed an investigation into Supreme Court (STF) Justice André Mendonça for alleged abuse of authority, a probe requested by Justice Alexandre de Moraes. The PGR's stance, citing a lack of probative value in Federal Police reports, signals a potential de-escalation of institutional conflict within Brazil's judiciary. The final decision rests with the STF plenary.
